>What do others think about canoe/kayak registration if the revenues were used for what I just mentioned? >snip.... new safety programs, enforcing yet unwritten regulations... There has been a lot of rumbling in Florida about registration of canoes and kayaks for a couple of years now. Being located in north Florida we see a number of out of state boats here for the weekend, week or even an entire season. My questions are these, 1) Is it fair to charge the resident a registration fee and not the visitor? 2) Should a low impact vessel (canoe/kayak) pay the same registration fee as a high impact vessel (powerboat/PWC) ? 3)Should multiple boat owners of canoes/kayaks, who may only use a boat once or twice a year, pay for multiple registrations? 4) What do you get for your money? And lastly 5) Is someone monitoring this group and will our several postings be misconstrued as the consensus of the paddling population at large?
